✨ Features

• 🇰🇿 Multi-Language Support: Default Kazakh (Қазақша), with instant switcher to Russian (Русский) and English.
• 🔄 Dual Direction Calculation:
  • Take-Home (Net) ➔ Gross Salary: calculate contract salary and taxes from your net pay.
  • Gross Salary ➔ Take-Home (Net): calculate actual take-home pay and all deductions from gross contract amount.
• 📊 2026 Kazakhstan Tax Rules (new Tax Code, effective 1 January 2026):
  • Employee Deductions: OPV (10%), VOSMS (2%), IPN (10%, 15% above 8 500 MRP/year), with a 30 MRP basic deduction toggle.
  • Employer Contributions: SO (5%), OOSMS (3%), OPVR (3.5%), and Social Tax (SN 6%, no longer offset by SO).
  • All rates, caps and indices live in TAX_RULES_2026 in src/scripts/calculator.ts; UI copy is derived from it.
